We’re down to three NFL games this season, but it’s not too late to get in the real-money gaming action.
If your state doesn’t have sports betting apps like DraftKings or FanDuel, there are still some good options for Lions-49ers and Chiefs-Ravens, among dozens of other sports going on right now.
If you aren’t in a state with any legal sports betting sites, you can try Sleeper Picks, PrizePicks and Underdog Fantasy. They’re DFS platforms that allow you to pick player statistics and tie them together for bigger payouts, depending on how many players you add.
These sites are all available in 25+ states, b🌟ut there are ꦆa few distinctions.
Underdog, for example, runs fantasy contests that are offered in more states than its pick’em game — New Jersey for example does have fantasy but does not have pick’em.
Sleeperꦉ is a popular app for season-long fಞantasy football which can be used from any state, but their picks product is in 27 states plus Washington D.C.
We’ve outlined each site’s availability by location below.
1. Sleeper Picks
- Promo Code: NYPOST
- Offer: 100% Deposit Match up to $500!
- States Available: AK, AR, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MN, NE, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, VT, VA, DC, WI, and WY
Sleeper is giving away a $20 “pick on sale” — Brock Purdy over 0.5 passing yards. It’s eligible for a one-time entry up to $20 in your first contest only.
So I’ll take that one, and then add two more, for a total payout of 3.9x my entry (it says 4.9x, but that includes my $10 stake that I put in, so you’re really profiting $39).
I’ve added Mark Andrews less than 34.5 receiving yards in his first game back, plus Mecole Harman less than 1.5 receptions for the Chiefs.
2. PrizePicks
- Promo Code: NYPOST
- Offer: 100% deposit match up to $100
- States Available: 19+ years old in AK, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, NE, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI (21+ in AZ and MA).
PrizePicks is similar, though y♔ou can choose multiple statistics from the same player, just with 🏅reduced payouts, depending on the statistic.
Here I’ve taken Brandon Aiyuk more than 15.5 fantasy points, counting on a big day from him against a reeling Lions secondary, more than 537.5 combined from both quarterbacks in that game and Ravens RB Justice Hill less than 34.5 rushing yards.
The payout is 5x, including my entry.
3. Underdog Fantasy
- Promo Code: NYPBONUS
- Offer: 100% deposit match up to $100
- States Available: AL, AK, AR, CA, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, NY, ME, MN, MS, NE, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WY
On Underdog, I have to take different players, so I’ve identified a handful that I like — Justin Tucker higher than 1.5 field goals, Justice Hill higher than 13.5 receiving yards and Marquez Valdes-Scantling lower than 14.5 receiving yards.
If they all win, I’ll 6x my payout (including my entry amount, so it’s really more like 5x). Or I can choose the “insured” option, which gives me my stake back if I go 2/3 but only pays me out 3x if I get all three correct.
